Is Anthony Brown still on the roster? If so, why?

Because we don't have a lot of options behind him. Also, he's had a decent season before this game. He's improved a since Quinn took over as DC. Every player has a bad game every now and then, and CBs have games every now and then when they get burned a lot. It's just part of playing that position. Additionally, several of the DPIs called on him were terrible calls. No need to cut him yet.

Great that you are OK with 4 interference penalties, including a game-closer.
:rolleyes:

"It's just one of those days," said Brown after the game.

You cost us a game and possibly an NFC seed, you sieve and penalty magnet!

But Jerry, as is his wont, will cuddle with Brown, possibly breast feed him and give him a raise.
well, I guarantee you can look at the other 10 games and see similar plays by CBs and you can look at every other game and see similar plays and penalties weren't called. officiating was bad, very bad. in fact it was horrible. and lets just say we throw brown to the curb....is lewis ready to step up? is Joseph ready to take on a prominent role....is that going to make the team and defense better...so that you feel good about brown being benched....

you don't throw the baby out with the bath water...brown had a bad day....the ref's cost us the game. brown didn't play well. its the bed we made and must live with it. until next year when we draft a CB...

Did I say anywhere that I was ok with the penalties he committed? No I did not. I was saying some of the calls were rubbish. I don't think he played a good game, but, pay attention and you might learn something, there isn't much behind him to replace him with. You can talk about cutting x player, but you must have an adequate replacement. We don't have an adequate replacement for Brown.

He thinks we got Darrelle Revis sitting on the bench.

I would imagine if there was an adequate replacement for Brown, he would have been subbed out during the game. He wasn't.

Yes, old boy, let us see if Brown can get better on company time.

Then we are stuck with brown. Waiting for the other shoe to fall.
Doesn't that make your animal hairs stand on end?
Yeah, that Anthony will change with love and compassion and ... time.
Wth. He can learn and grow on company time.
Speed your wings and fly, little bird!

Fans are mad at brown but making excuses for the 40 million dollar QB. Makes sense.

Yeah, we are stuck with Brown atm. We can't trade. There's not much waiting to be signed. We gotta roll with Brown until Joseph is ready to take control.

It reminds me when Megatron went off for 329 yards against the Cowboys, mainly with Brandon Carr covering him. The Cowboys had no choice but to leave Carr again because they really had no one else to rotate into his spot. It was a VERY long day for Carr....

Anthony didn’t play great but some of those calls were questionable. Especially the one in OT since there’s no rule against face guarding and the WR was holding his head so he couldn’t turn and look at the ball anyways. What happened Thursday was a total team effort. I’m disappointed we couldn’t rise above the BS penalties and beat that trash team. We’ll see what they’re made of now. True leaders lead in tough times. Show us what your made of Dak.

Jordan Lewis was worse then Anthony Brown. I did not notice one post concerning his play from anyone. He got roasted by Jackson and Renfro.
Yeah I was going to post if anyone noticed. Lewis allowed 7 passes for 164 yards Thursday. I did feel Lewis was worse as well, but those little yellow thingies that flew around A. Brown is what we most see.

Try getting your head pulled into a guy and turn your head around to find the ball... good luck with that... NFL refs have NO idea what pass interference is.

Brown is a good slot CB. Shouldn't even be playing outside.

Jerry is likely working on extending him…

This team continues to be a country club with no accountability …

It seems eons since a Jimmy or a Parcell took players to task publically by position/number if not by name.
These players are assured that, when mentioned by their coaches, the words passionate, focused, hard worker, a locker room leader, an on field coach and smart are used.

The Cowboys aren’t going to be cutting corners (pun intended) at this juncture of the season, especially with all the injuries we’ve had. Brown was having a pretty good season until Thursday’s game. If the team moves on from him it won’t be until the offseason.

It's threads like this that make this site an embarrassment. Also, what was interference on Thursday is now not interference on Sunday.
